Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922).

Shadbolt Centre for the Arts hosts In Praise of Nightmares, an evening of 1920s classic horror cinema, on October 27 from 7:30 pm to 9 pm.

In Praise of Nightmares features two silent short films paired with live music that will intensify every spine-tingling moment.

Viewers can allow their imaginations to wander through the twisted dreams and haunting visuals in Un Chien Andalou (1929), a French avant-garde surrealist film by Louis Brunelle and artist Salvador Dali.

Afterwards, the legendary vampire Count Orlok comes to life on screen in Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922). This silent German expressionist film by F. W. Murnau depicts the bloody reign of terror in Transylvania. An unauthorized adaptation of Dracula, Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel, the film managed to survive the test of time despite a court ruling ordering the destruction of all its copies.

Tickets to the screening night are available for purchase here.
